Re: Resolving QName with XSLT 1.0

<xsl:variable name="att-value-prefix" select="substring-before(@xsi:type, ':')" />
<xsl:if test="namespace::*[name() = $att-value-prefix][. = 'http://www.aaa.it/europa/xdm']">
  <!-- match! -->
</xsl:if>

Hi all

I'm attempting to construct an xpath expression to select in my xml instance
a document element whose category subelement attribute xsi:type matches a
QName (say: "eur:invoice"), as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<documents
xmlns="http://www.aaa.it/consulta/xdmModel"
xmlns:eur="http://www.aaa.it/europa/xdm"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
version="1.0">
 <document id="kjsdlkj">
  <category xsi:type="eur:invoice">
   [...]
  </category>
 </document>
 [...]
</documents>

My question is: as the QName is not a simple literal (you know: the
namespace prefix isn't relevant by itself), how can I be sure that my
predicate matches "eur:invoice" as an expanded name
({http://www.aaa.it/europa/xdm}invoice) instead of the arbitrary
"eur:invoice" string?
Keep in mind that I'm using MSXML4 (XSLT 1.0 support), so it seems not to be
available the resolve-QName function described in the XSLT 2.0 spec
(http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-functions/#func-resolve-QName).

What could I do in this case?

Many thanks

Stefano
